To go with the Vdub theme, the first car I would admit to having was:

which was soon followed by:

Now however, I have this:

Its more fun that your average eurobox, and goes places you wouldn't believe!

Your defender looks somewhat familiar.... Your surname isn't Target is it?

For phuck sake, not only have i just finished late from work, but just had an ear bashing for not informing my mum that i'd come home to relieve my grandparents from looking after my little sisters so they could go home, as they'd left their party to come home as i was late!

Not in the phuck'n mood for this shit at gone 1am. Next time i'll stay at work and finish the drinks customers got in for me.

Family are overrated.

 

I don't take ear bashings very well at all unless I really deserved it, after work, I'd especially not take it well at all. Shoulda gone back and finished them drinks!

No real f**k it thing just that i fell asleep earlier not im no so tired, up for 6:30 odd.. ffs.

I don't at 1am after a busy shift! Ah well, family are great, especially living with 'em

Been a royally shit day, at least i'm not going to get a call saying the dog's been run over.... As i don't have one!

very childish

Agreed, but you expected anything else?

I would keep the road stuff for when you use the bike on road and get some MX gear for greenlaning.

T'was the original plan, although i think i may still wear a proper jacket when cash flow allows, seen one that takes my fancy in Hein Gericke

Imanupstart, thanks for the site, had a quick look this morning, loooot's of shiny kit

Hi there, Due to many many reasons i'm looking to bin my car and get a bike (running costs mainly at the moment) And as i only have my CBT completed, i'm looking for a 125cc MotoX style bike....

So, i have road gear (Jacket, gloves, boots and lid) But if anyone knows of anywhere to get (not necessarily cheap, but off-road kit on a budget) I'd appreciate the input.

And any suggestions on the aforementioned bike would be nice (under £1,000 would be awesome for one in reasonable condition)

Thanks in advance guys/girls and those that are as yet undecided!

2 & 3 look like winners to me, my instructor on my cbt had an led strip (i think it had around 6 led's on the strip) on his Blackbird just under the air intake (wrong terminology for a bike?) it made him a lot more visible in the mirrors

Susieque and mic, sound advice, and yes, i fully intend on getting a bigger bike, was thinking a 400 if i find one i fit comfortably (asking around my friends at the moment to see if i can find one to try-on for size) failing that, a 600cc but we'll see on either! Thanks again for the input everyone!

Well, Went down to a local bike showroom, and tried on a CBR125r for size.... I'm now considering selling my landy to get one... On that note, anyone want to buy a Pristine 1993 Land Rover Discovery, Mint condi.... Sorry, wrong advert! Anyone fancy buying a 1993 Land Rover Discovery, 200Tdi 2.5 litre diesel, Good chassis, body work.... could be better, Used off road (no sense in having a 4x4 just incase it rains, get it muddy!!!)

Cheers guys! Will look at 125's for sure, any opinions on 'mini' sports bikes? like the CBR, YZF or the Aprilia RS125? If it helps, i'm 6'1" and 13.5 stone?

I'm not in a huge rush as i drive, but, sad to say, as with most things, i still want it now!!! it's just not a necessity...... yet.

Well, i'm off to introduce myself in the.... well, introduction area.

Thanks again, and looking forward to some first hand opinions on the 125 sports bikes!

Hey all, passed my CBT yesterday first time now, due to work commitments i'm not going to be able to do the rest of my full licence until next year. So was wondering whether it'd be worth getting myself a 125cc bike to built confidence and skill in the mean time?

Any advice will be great!
